CPU Speed Setup

The system bus speed is selectable at 66,100,133MHz and Auto. The user can select the
system bus speed

(SW1)

and change the DIP switch

(SW2)

selection to set up the CPU speed

for 500MHz – 1GHz and above processor.

Note:

1. If you use 66/1 00/133 MHz CPU, We recommen d you to setup your system speed to
“Auto” value.

2. We don’t recommend you to set up your system speed to 75 , 83 , 112 , 124 , 140 ,150
MHz because these frequ encies are not the standard sp ecifications for CPU, Chipset
and most of the peripherals. Whether your system can run under
75 ,83 ,112 ,124 ,140 ,150 MHz properly will depend on your hardware configurations:
CPU, SDRAM, Cards, etc.

Suspend To RAM Installation

A.1 Introduce STR function:

Suspend-to-RAM (ST R) is a Window s 98 A CPI sl eep mode function. W hen recovering from

STR (S3) sleep mode, the system is able, in just a f ew seconds, to retrieve the last “state” of
the system before it went to sleep and recover to that state. The “state” is stored in memory
(RAM) before the system goes to sleep. During STR sleep mode, your system uses only
enough energy to maintain critical information and system functions, primarily the system
state and the ability to recognize various “wake up” triggers or signals, respectively.

A.2 STR function Installation

Please use the following steps to complete the STR function installation.

Step-By-Step Setup

Step 1:

To utilize the STR function, the system must be in Windows 98 ACPI mode.

Putting Windows 98 into ACPI mode is fairly easy.

Setup with Windows 98 CD:

A. Insert the Windows 98 CD into your CD-ROM drive, select Start, and then Run.
B. Type (without quotes)

“D:\setup”

in the window provided. Hit the enter key or click OK.
C. After setup completes, remove the CD, and reboot your system
(This manual assumes that your CD-ROM device drive letter is D:).

A.5 Notices :

1. In order for STR to function properly, several hardware and s oftware requirements mus t

be satisfied:

A. Your ATX power supply must comply with the ATX 2.01 specification (p rovide more

than 720 mA 5V Stand-By current).

B. Your SDRAM must be PC-100 compliant.

2. Jumper JP5 is provided to connect to the STR LED in your system chassis. [Your
chassis may not provide this feature.] The STR LED will be illuminated when your
system is in STR sleep mode.

Memory

The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the
BIOS.

Base Memory

The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional)
memory installed in the system.

The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K
memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more
memory installed on the motherboard.

Extended Memory

The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST.
This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU's memory

address map.

Other Memory

This refers to the memory located in the 640 K to 1024 K address space. This is
memory that can be used for different applications.

DOS uses this area to load device drivers to keep as much base memory free
for application programs. Most use for this area is Shadow RAM
